Northern Diver Australia - Drysuits, Undersuits, Wetsuits and Scuba Gear

Drysuits

In order to ensure a perfect fit and years of trouble free service, we have produced a step by step guide describing the correct procedure to measure for a drysuit. This form is for use by those who have ordered, or are about to order a suit from us.

Please do not measure yourself, enlist the help of a second person to do it for you, as accuracy is essential for a good fitting suit.

Measurements can be made in either imperial or metric sizes and must be made over the undersuit you intend to wear.
